Re: SDIO Stack and Device Support

[Robert Emanuele]

This support for these wireless chips in the mainline kernel is great.
 Originally I was looking at wireless SDIO cards from Spectec and
Silex.  What manufacturers use the libertas/Marvell chipsets in SDIO
Cards?  (or are they only available as modules?)

Thank you,

Rob
